Chapter 248
Irene became tense immediately.
Isaac’s appearance took her by surprise.
Still, she composed herself as best as she could and smiled. “Hey…”
Isaac looked up, his expression impassive. “Where have you been?”
“I–I had something to do.” Irene fumbled to find the right words while deliberately avoiding Isaac’s gaze
as she walked to the table, pouring him a glass of water to hide her awkwardness. “You haven’t told me
why you’re
here…”
Isaac’s voice turned cool. “Shouldn’t I check on my son when he’s sick?”
Irene lowered her gaze, guilty. Isaac stared at her for a heartbeat, and turned grumpy.
She wasn’t going to tell him, even though Tommy was their child and was being harmed.
Did she not trust him, or was there some other reason?
“I’m taking Tommy with me,” he suddenly announced.
Irene looked up right then. “Why?”
“He’s my son.”
“He’s my son too!” Irene promptly shot back.
Isaac held her gaze for a while before saying slowly, “You think you’d have a child without me?”
Irene was speechless–he sounded just like a dirty old
man!
Still, she understood his temper and that she shouldn’t get confrontational, so she conceded. “Look,
Tommy’s sick. He shouldn’t leave the hospital right now.”
“How did he get sick?” Isaac asked – he wouldn’t press the issue if she told him the truth.
He had learned from Jimmy the chauffeur that Irene had come here, and quickly looked into it.
He left work immediately when he found out that Tommy was sick, and had a general idea what was
happening to his son after asking the doctor.
It seemed that Irene also knew who hurt Tommy, though she was reluctant to tell him.
“Just leave this to me. Trust me,” Irene said, holding his
gaze.
“Leave it to you? Trust you?” Isaac repeated coolly.
Irene began, “Look, it’s a family matter-”
“And my son was involved. I have to take him away for
the sake of his health, and I will hire the best doctor to
care for him.”
With those words, he scooped Tommy up in his arms, gently and carefully unlike the clumsy way he did
the first time, seemingly having trained considerably to do it.
Irrene tugged at Isaac’s sleeve. “Please calm down…”
“I am calm, Irene,” he said evenly.
He certainly knew what he should be doing right now, too: the first was to keep his son safe, and the
next was to find the person who did this and make that person pay- no matter who it was!
For Irene’s part, she understood that Irene was angry, and decided to come clean. Moreover,
misunderstandings were unnecessary now that she and Isaac just confirmed their relationship.
Anyhow, they were still having trust issues.
She was hoping that she could convince Isaac to leave the problem to her.
“It’s Ricky,” she finally said. “But it’s not his fault-”
“Got it,” Isaac growled, cutting her short.
Seeing that she had more to say, Isaac added, “You’re Tommy’s mom, so come with me if you’re
worried.”
Irene hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded. ” Okay, I’ll carry him.”
Isaac did not let her, however. “No, I can do it.”
He had learned how to carry a baby in private. Though he was no master, he was certainly not
unskilled.
Irene pursed her lips, and tried to speak on Ricky’s behalf. “It’s not his fault. He was being
threatened…”
“Shush. Tommy’s sleeping.”
Isaac was clearly refusing to listen, so Irene had to stay quiet.
